The lens used for the front camera 100 may be a normal lens, a wide-angle lens having a viewing angle larger than the normal lens, or may be a fisheye lens which is an ultra wide-angle lens having a viewing angle greater than 180 degrees. However, it is preferable that the lens used for the front camera 100 is a wide angle lens having a viewing angle of 180 degrees.

The input device 300 may include all components that accept input various commands related to the control of the vehicle 1. In detail, the input device 300 may include an AVN device 302 inside the vehicle 1, a button 303 provided on the steering wheel, and a touch screen provided on the windshield 301. That is, the input device 300 may be provided in the windshield 301, and the input device 300 includes a concept including all of configurations for accepting input a user's command.

The controller 400 may include an image processor 410 for processing front image data so that the front image acquired from the front camera 100 may be output to the head-up display 200. The image processor 410 may determine an interest area of the front image and edit the front image to output the interest area on the head-up display 200. A detailed description will be described below with reference to FIG. 7.

In addition, the controller 400 may include a camera angle controller 420 that adjusts a photographing angle of the front camera 100 by changing a direction in which the front camera 100 photographs. The camera angle controller 420 may determine the photographing angle of the front camera 100 and adjust the photographing angle of the front camera 100 based on the determined photographing angle. A detailed description will be described below with reference to FIG. 8.

The controller 400 may be implemented as a memory (not shown) that stores data for an algorithm for controlling the operation of components in the vehicle 1 or a program reproducing the algorithm, and a processor (not shown) that performs the above-described operation using data stored in the memory.

The camera angle adjuster 210 may include any structure capable of adjusting the photographing direction of the camera, without being limited to the term.

Hereinafter, the vehicle 1 and the method of controlling the vehicle 1 in some forms of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8 to describe in detail.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a vehicle in some forms of the present disclosure, FIG. 5 is a view for describing a projection area of a vehicle in some forms of the present disclosure, FIG. 6 is a side view of a projection area of a vehicle in some forms of the present disclosure, FIG. 7 is a view for describing a front image edited according to a speed of a vehicle in some forms of the present disclosure, and FIG. 8 is a view for describing a photographing angle of a camera changed according to a speed of a vehicle in some forms of the present disclosure.

The front camera 100 may acquire the front image 101 by photographing the front of the vehicle 1 (1000). In this case, the front image may include an image of a blind spot in front of the vehicle 1 which the driver cannot see. The input device 300 may accept input a boundary line R for setting an area in which the image is projected from the area of the windshield 301 (1100). In this case, the driver may input the boundary line R using the touch screen provided in the windshield 301.

The controller 400 may determine a projection area PA in which an image is projected based on the inputted boundary line R (1200). In detail, when the boundary line R is input, the controller 400 may determine a region between the lower end portion of the windshield 301 and the boundary line R as the projection area.

That is, the interest area IA of the image output from the head-up display 200 is displayed in the projection area PA from the area of the windshield 301, and nothing is displayed in the area NPA that is not the projection area.

The controller 400 may determine the interest area IA of the front image 101 photographed by the front camera 100 based on the projection area PA and the speed of the vehicle 1 (1300). In detail, referring to FIG. 5, the controller 400 may determine the size of the interest area IA in proportion to the size of the projection area PA. That is, the controller 400 may determine the size of the interest area IA larger as the projection area PA is larger, so that the interest area IA is displayed on all portions of the projection area PA.

Referring to 6, the controller 400 may raise the position of the interest area IA when the speed of the vehicle 1 increases and may lower the position of the interest area IA when the speed of the vehicle 1 decreases,

This is to prevent the collision with the object that may occur when the vehicle 1 moves by allowing the driver to identify the object located in the front lower blind spot close to the vehicle 1 as the speed of the vehicle 1 is slower.

In addition, this is to prevent the collision with the object that may occur when the vehicle 1 moves by allowing the driver to identify the object located in the lower blind spot far ahead of the vehicle 1 as the speed of the vehicle 1 is faster. This will be described below with reference to FIG. 7.

The controller 400 may raise the photographing angle of the front camera 100 when the speed of the vehicle 1 increases, and may lower the photographing angle of the front camera 100 when the speed of the vehicle 1 decreases. This will be described below with reference to FIG. 8.

Referring to FIG. 7, the front camera 100 in some forms of the present disclosure may have a viewing angle of 180 degrees. Therefore, the front image 101 acquired by the front camera 100 may include images of all regions corresponding to 180 degrees in front of the vehicle 1. When the vehicle 1 is in a stopped state, the bottommost portion of the image 101 acquired by the front camera 100 may be determined as the interest area IA. Also, when the vehicle 1 is driving at 5 km/h, the interest area IA may be upward.

Referring to FIG. 8, the front camera 100 in some forms of the present disclosure may be provided in the camera angle adjuster 210 so that a photographing angle may be changed. Specifically, the first gear 106 included in the camera angle adjuster 210 rotates according to the control signal of the controller 400, and the second gear 105 to which the front camera 100 is attached may rotate in accordance with the rotation of the first gear 106 to adjust the photographing angle of the camera. At this time, the camera angle adjuster 210 may include a hinge structure.

That is, the controller 400 may determine the photographing angle of the front camera 100 based on the speed of the vehicle 1, and may transmit a control signal for adjusting the photographing angle of the front camera 100 to the camera angle adjuster 210 based on the determined photographing angle. For example, when the vehicle 1 is in a stopped state, the photographing angle of the front camera 100 may be lowered, and when the vehicle 1 is driving at 5 km/h, the photographing angle of the front camera 100 may be raised.

When the photographing angle of the camera is adjusted in this way, the interest area IA of the front image may be located at the center of the front image, and the size of the interest area IA may be determined based on the determined projection area PA as described above.

Thereafter, the controller 400 may control the head-up display 200 to display the interest area IA in the projection area PA (1400).

In this case, when the speed of the vehicle 1 is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed, the controller 400 may control the head-up display 200 such that the interest area IA is not displayed in the projection area PA.

This is because the driver does not need to check the blind spot in front of the vehicle 1 when the speed of the vehicle 1 is somewhat high so that the front image 101 projected onto the windshield 301 may interfere with the driver's view.

Although not shown in the drawing, the controller 400 may move the position of the interest area IA in the steering direction of the vehicle 1.

For example, when the steering direction of the vehicle 1 is left, the position of the interest area IA may be determined to be biased to the left. In this case, the controller 400 may adjust the photographing angle of the front camera 100 to the left while maintaining the interest area IA at the center of the front image 101 in some forms of the present disclosure.

In addition, the controller 400 may lower the position of the interest area IA as the vehicle body angle of the vehicle 1 base on the horizontal line is greater. This is because when the vehicle 1 goes uphill, the body angle of the vehicle 1 based on the horizontal line becomes larger, and the blind spot that the driver cannot see becomes larger, so that the driver can lower the interest area IA to effectively provide the driver with a view of the blind spot.

Similarly, the controller 400 may lower the photographing angle of the camera while maintaining the interest area at the center of the front image as the vehicle body angle increases in some forms of the present disclosure.

In addition, the controller 400 may determine the position of the driver's eyes based on the driver's face image acquired from the internal camera 140, and may determine the size of the projection area PA on which the front image is projected based on the position of the eyes.

In detail, the controller 400 may determine the projection area PA based on a line connecting the driver's eyes and the bonnet of the vehicle 1. Referring to FIG. 6, as the position of the driver's eyes is higher, the size of the projection area PA may be smaller, and as the position of the driver's eyes is lower, the size of the projection area PA may be larger.

According to the vehicle 1 and the method for controlling the vehicle 1 in some forms of the present disclosure, the driver can directly secure the field of view of the blind spots in front of the vehicle 1 through the windshield 301, thereby feeling a sense of stability. In addition, since the driver may identify the object located in the blind spot without having to bow down, the collision with the object located in the blind spot can be prevented.

An example of the vehicle 1 and the method for controlling of the vehicle 1 are not limited thereto, and some forms of the present disclosure described above are exemplary in all respects. Therefore, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features thereof.
